Mr.. Holman says "that the people of
Indiana were no. taking much interest
In politics nowadays. as there IL no
election In the State this year. The
labor movement Is the grcn; political
psobletn Of the future. Nobody can
fOretell what influence II will have next
year. While there are differences and
dissensions among the labor organiza-
tons. they will all probably unite next
year upon National ticket, and then 1t
will remain to be seen whether they
hurt the Democrats or Republicans the
more. II they draw the heavier from
the Republicans so much the better for
us: but they may cut the deeper Into
our vote. II is a movement that rem
ders me uneasy. think myself that
the Democratic party is in good shape,
